Abstract
  • This thesis analyzed the COVID-19 pandemic and its prevalent issues in both US and China. What the COVID-19 pandemic made visible is an alarming side of the political ideologies in both countries. It came to the conclusion that, for China, while solidarity gives the nation the strength to defeat the pandemic, a top-down censorship is penetrated into the collective mentality. For the United States, a greater sense of community embodied in mutual obligation and shared sacrifice is much needed to combat the pandemic. Furthermore, more public trust in science and a more accurate appreciation of the harm to others that is caused by ignoring mask-wearing mandates and social distancing regulations.
